CONNAN MOCKASIN - Caramel (Repress) CONNAN MOCKASIN

LP - Limited Edition 'Gold Nugget' Colour Vinyl (2025 Repress). 

Whether bending genres or collaborating with artists like James Blake, MGMT and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Connan Mockasin has always manoeuvred in mysterious ways. After touring with the likes of Radiohead and Neil and Liam Finn (Crowded House), the R&B surrealist continues assembling a cult around his theatre / spectacle of life.

‘Caramel’ boasts a unique brand of mutated, lustrous soul that was almost wholly self-recorded over a month in a Tokyo hotel room. Described by Clash Music as “a true cosmonaut of inner space,” the album explores different regions of Mockasin’s singular galaxy, guided by his truly adventurous songwriting that favours reconfigured pop structures with a skewed funk sensibility.

“[‘Caramel’’s] dreamy grooves sound like something Prince might make, were he on strong prescription tranquillisers -in a good way, of course” - The Guardian

 “Mockasin’s a more ambitious songwriter than his sleepy demeanour would sometimes suggest” - Pitchfork

“‘Caramel’ is the soul music of alienation... it contrasts traditional notions of masculinity, security and devotion with modern ennui.” - Dazed
